Synthesis and antiphytoviral activity of α-aminophosphonates containing 3, 5-diphenyl-2-isoxazoline as potential papaya ringspot virus inhibitors.

ABSTRACT

α-Aminophosphonates compounds containing 3,5-diphenyl-2-isoxazoline were synthesized and evaluated for their bioactivity. Seventeen of them showed good bioactivity (protection effect > 50%) in vivo against papaya ringspot virus, while two of them (V29 and V45) exhibited excellent antiviral activity (both 77.8%). In the latter case, the antiviral activity was close to that of antiphytovirucides ningnanmycin and dufulin (both 83.3%) at 500 mg/L. The preliminary structure-activity relationships indicated that the bioactivity was strongly influenced by the substituents.
